our navy -- >> about 30 seconds. >> our navy is older -- excuse me -- our navy is smaller now than any time since 1917. the navy said they needed 313 ships to carry out their mission. we're now down to 285. we're headed down to the -- to the low 200s if we go through with sequestration. that's unacceptable to me. i want to make sure that we have the ships that are required by our navy. our air force is older and smaller than any time since it was founded in 1947. we've changed for the first time since fdr. we -- since fdr we had the -- we've always had the strategy of saying we could fight in two conflicts at once. now we're changing to one conflict. look, this, in my view, is the highest responsibility of the president of the united states, which is to maintain the safety of the american people. and i will not cut our military budget by a trillion dollars, which is the combination of the budget cuts that the president has as well as the sequestration cuts. that, in my view, is -- is -- is making our future less certain and less secure. i won't do it. >> bob, i just need to comment on

we have a navy seal that lost his life. we are troubled the american people do not understand what went on in benghazi. we know because we are in close contact with two navy seals who, and one who perished. in the speech that obama made, when he was with chris christie, he said we will not leave anyone behind. they left -- woods, glenn doherty, ambassador stevens behind to die in benghazi. i encourage everyone to watch -- janine on 214 tonight. and other reports on the weekend about this because the primary job of our commander in chief is to take care of our national security. most are very angry at this president. host: one of the reporters is michael bryan of nbc news who writes about the final words of the president. he tweets, "almost as if obama is a growing wistful. as the campaign goes on, we become less relevant. i'm a prop in the campaign." our republican line, this is linda. linda callings is from oklahoma. i have listened to both candidates today. and i am very disappointed. i am ashamed to say i voted for obama
